NEET UG 2026 Re-Exam: IAF Aircraft to Transport Papers to 18 Centres
The Indian Air Force (IAF) will provide logistical support for the NEET UG 2026 re-examination on June 21 by transporting question paper packets to 18 locations across the country, according to Defence Ministry sources. The move is part of an enhanced security strategy introduced after the cancellation of the May 3 NEET UG exam over alleged paper leak concerns. Authorities aim to ensure secure handling and transportation of examination materials throughout the process, according to NDTV.
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had earlier announced the Air Force's involvement in question paper transportation to strengthen security and prevent any possibility of tampering. Along with the IAF deployment, nearly five lakh security personnel will be stationed across the country for examination duties. Authorities have also planned AI-enabled surveillance cameras and extensive monitoring of social media platforms to detect misinformation, suspicious activity, and any attempts to compromise the examination process.
